Green Apple Barter is a business-to-business barter network that helps companies attract customers and exchange products and services without relying solely on cash. Founded in 1991, the company has served more than 10,000 clients and reports over 3,000 active participants and $55 million in yearly trade transactions.

Green Apple acts as a third-party record keeper, connecting buyers and sellers and tracking transactions in trade credits. When a business makes a sale, it receives credits based on the sale price, which it can then spend with other participants across the network. The company’s commission-based sales brokers help generate new business through personal outreach, email campaigns, mailers, networking events and an annual trade show.

Participants span industries including hospitality, restaurants, construction, automotive, retail, advertising and professional services. Through the network, businesses can access goods and services such as marketing, repairs, travel, vehicles and event suites. Green Apple also offers participant account tools, trade authorization, directory search and smartphone and gift card apps.
